Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 54077828, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-bromo-2-fluoro-1-nitro-benzene (22 g, 100 mmol), L-alanine (8.9 g, 100 mmol), and potassium carbonate (17.5 g, 125 mmol) in ethanol (250 ml), and water (200 ml) was heated to reflux for 5 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was diluted with water, and acidified with 1N hydrochloric acid. The precipitate was collected on a funnel and dried to afford N-(5-bromo-2-nitrophenyl)-alanine (28.9 g, 100%). A sample was recrystallized from ethanol: m.p. 183-187° C.; 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6) δ1.44 (d, J=6.9 Hz, 3H), 4.56 (m, 1H), 6.87 (d, J=6 Hz, 1H), 7.21 (d, J=1.7 Hz, 1H), 7.99 (d, J=7 Hz, 1H), 8.36 (d, J=7 Hz, 1H), 13.27 (s, 1H).
